We hoist, huge drought busting rains with potential coastal flooding. Sep 29-30

[Ginx snewx]

Are we still calling this heavy rainfall a bust?

Some backyards might be left wanting, but overall I think this qualifies as widespread.

That Maine bullseye wasn't hit very well on the models...not terrible but they definitely underplayed it.

I thought Mar '14 had the best a bit south of him...more like Killington to Sugarbush....but maybe I'm misremembering. Still a good storm though up there.

 

 

 

I can't remember off the top of my head but looking at CoCoRAHS...

 

March '14 was 13.0" (1.54" liquid though, so QPF was there, I remember the ratios were horrific though)...and J.Spin who is slightly snowier had 14.8".  Good storm but nothing excessive.

 

March '13 was 13.2" (0.86" liquid)...and J.Spin was 13.9".

 

I hope everyone felt sorry for my boring 125" last winter, too.  That was probably the most brutal 125" someone could get .

 

No need to hijack this thread with snow talk though, lol.

This rain is blinding, roads flooded, I am absolutely drenched to the core.

Huh?  I haven't had 2 feet or more since March 2011.  Got 18" in the Feb '12 upslope.  I'm talking my home though not the mountain.

 

I don't differentiate lol. 

 

4/10/12... 2'

The only time I hate the Green Mountains is when looking at the BTV radar.  What a mess, lol.  

 

My folks just south of ALB had almost 5".  That weenie band shows up nicely on that image.

lol that one was 30" on the picnic tables.  

 

But yeah locally we are in a bit of an 18"+ drought.  The Warren/Waitsfield area (even up through MPV and NE Kingdom) has been just far enough south or east to catch the brunt of those two March storms you mentioned, as they have had 18-24" events in both of them that were 13-14" here.

Maybe another 0.1", but looks like 4.8" will do it.

I'm trying to remember which of the dozens of model runs I looked at last night that showed it, but one of the regionals or mesos showed the precip just exploding over ME and giving widespread 5+ amounts.

 

Now that I look back, ARW/NMM FTW up here.

Nice rumble of thunder with fropa.

[CoastalWx]

Nice little storm. Back to heavy rain.

[dendrite]

I wonder what I'll come home to.......

A temp 5F cooler than everyone else?

ARW wins that when considering the max axis extending back into SW NH and MA.

Still pouring and finally cooling off. Might make 3"

[SlantStickers Anonymous]

That was fun. Done until any possible PRE?

I remember the plow guy not showing and having to dig out the truck after I beached it on the driveway.

Just think ... it only took 20 pages to turn a thread covering a clearly warm season event into a nostalgia trip for winter

Wow, nice...that's gotta be causing some flooding around there.

[40/70 Benchmark]

Wow, 3.81" total here.

Higher than i had expected.

 

Hey Peabody, i kept getting texts from SSU regarding how O'keefe was flooding lol

[CoastalWx]

Looks like about 3" will do it here.

12" here...14.8" at J.Spin's to my south...18" at Warren (Where Sugarbush is).

Only convective stuff with heavy rain in localized spots, often where there are covered bridges.

It was, uh, not great today. At least one car was totaled, and the lot was more lake than pavement by the time I left.
